Oats and Peas For Silage. "'
In districts where early frosts make
corn an uncertain crop, oats and peas
can be grown profitably for silage.
Oats and peas withstand light frosts

the use of having a feeder so big?
I don't know of any reason. And what
is the use of five or six compartments
for the pigs to look into when they
feel a little hungry? I don't see any.

young queen is obtained which will
not swarm and, besides, will be more
prolific in the fall and next year than
the old queen, and will. be less likely
to swarm next year. This plan, how-
ever, causes a certain amount of loaf-
ing until the new queen starts laying.
This loafing can be much reduced by
introducing a ripe queen cell at the
time the queen is removed, and if this
is done early enough before any pre-
parations for swarming have been
started, the bees are unlikely to build
further queen cells, Where, however,

On looking back over our records
we found that January 1, 1919, we had
a flock of 100 Plymouth Rock hens,
all laying steadily, some young stock
and a clear field to work in.
Our hen house is a comfortable
building, 12x32 feet and has the al-
most priceless factor of a cement floor,
thereby doing away with a damp, Chickens sold
musty interior. Facing the south we Chickens eaten
had practically forty feet of glass
windows which with the addition of
some thirty feet of double -weight mus-
lin sashes, gave our hens a moderate
amount of fresh air during the day.
In addition to this, the glass windows
have screens back of them and the
windows themselves are placed on
binges, so that during good weather
they can be safely opened without the
risk of having vermin enter the
chicken house.
We have a large piece of heavy
canvas which is stretched under the
roosts at night and removed in the
morning. This leaves the entire floor
space for scratching and does away
with much of the weekly cleaning so
very essential in poultry raising.
We always keep several dust boxes
placed in spots, primarily
in the sun, and have found this the
better method of any sofar for keep-
ing the birds free from lice. We also
use air -slaked lime very freely on the
interior walls and ceiling of the build-
ings. Each spring, we very thorough-

My Tractor Does the Work of Six Horses
The tractor is the greatest adver-
tiser that has ever been found for
extensive and intensive farming. I
believe that by the use of a tractor
modern agriculture has been made
successful. From my experience I
derive the opinion that it takes a
farm of 125 acres or more to; make
the tractor pay like most purchasers
expect it to, But there is a tractor
for every farm and for every. pur-
pose.
The farm on which I use my tractor
is. about 200 acres, and this would re-
quire every bit of six good horses, be-
cause I put nearly all in grain. Be-
sides, it would require an extra• -hand
and team during the seeding and' :har-,
vesting time. What it would cost to
keep those six horses I can't ten you,
but I know they would cost about
three times what it is costing me now.
The cost of keeping my tractor is not
very large. When I am viewing •I use
about 20 cents' worth of kerosene to
the acre. The lubricating oil, gasoline,
and grease amount to about 8 cents
an acre. This makes about 28 cents
to the acre for plowing, and plowing
10 acres a day costs about $2-,80. I
always consider a day's work to cost
me about $2.80, whether I am . plow-
ing, disking, or reaping. Except when
I am doing• a small job, the cost is
accordingto the load.
The tractor I chose for my 200 acre's
in cultivation was a 12-20.. The rea-
sons I chose this make were: First, it
was the proper size for my farm;
second, it wasn't a cheap and half -
constructed tractor, but backed by
years ofeatperience third,. I• considered
"the type of motor it had, as I believe
it takes a four -cylinder four-cycle
motor to make the small tractor suc-
cessful; foiirth, this tractor is easily
accessible to all parts by only 'lifting
up the sides of thehood, which makes
it easy to take it apart and to relilaee
any worn parts; fifth, it was ,',61 "the
four-wheel construction, as I.-beleve.
'-hat. every tractor should have•. four
wheels; sixth, it was of a very simple
and durable construction, as 1 elieve,
that the fewer parts a. tractor lies the
less -there are to wear out. -
I put nearly all the fields in •grain,
and attend to every acre myself, ex-
cept during reaping and threshing
time. In summer I plow every acre
with it, and do all this myself, averag-
ing about 10 acres a day with a four -
disk plow. The last two years I plowed
500 acres on the average of 10 acres
a day, counting delays, breakdowns,
etc., and at the same time keeping the
tractor in A-1 condition. I don't claim
to be breaking any records, but if you
put these figures before the' ordinary
small -tractor owner he might consider
them well worth looking at.
After I am through plowing I disk
my land and put it all in good condi=
tion, for seeding time. - I do all this
with, the tractor. But when the time
conies to• seed I rent a few horses, as
I need • then only a short time. I
.figure that this is cheaper than the
equipment would cost t6 fix up a good
rig to seed with my tractor. _ But I
expect some day I might also do this
jobwith a tractor. When reaping
time comes there is nothing that beats
a tractor-' in pulling a reaper. I have
seven speeds on my tractor and I set
it to go about 3.5 to 4 miles an hour
and you, ought to see the bundles come
out. •
One thing that will cut my story
shorter than•: that of some -.of your
readers' is that I. will not be able to
tell- you anything about breakdowns,
as I haven't had a breakdown in the
two years I have 'owned° my tractor.
Now, I don'twant to claim that I
haven't had any repair bills, but they
have been small, because I' always re-
pair and replace in time. I look my
tractor over every now and then, and
I look for worn parts that need re-
placing. , So I keep my tractor always
in good shape, and avoid large repair
bills. I do all the repairing myself,
and don't let anybody else foolwith
it. This is one thing that cuts down
the expense a good deal.
I"am Very enthusiastic over power
farming, :and it can't be beat. in my
opinion if the farm is any wan decent
and the man operating it uses just a
little, common sense; that js'all that is
required to make a modern, tractor, a.
success. Machinery in, a few years
is going to play a' still greater role
in,rnadern agriculture.—B. L. W,
iety test and tate prairie flax straw
experiments are outlined. Throughout
this publication there are many valu-
able conclusions stated which are
based on the experimental work con-
ducted at these farms.
Method of Orchard Culti-
vation.
The method or system of cultivation
to be adopted may be varied to some
extent to meet local conditions. In
reality, however, all systems should
be, and in most cases are, a slight
modification of the "clean cultivation
and cover crop system."
The Clean Cultivation Method calls
for all the ground under and around
the trees to be plowed and frequently
harrowed- until around July first.
This system has much to recom-
mend it, viz.: (1) maximum conserva-
tion of soil moisture, (2) excellent.
conditions for liberation of plant food
especially nitrogen, (3) sightliness
and cleanliness of the orchard, and
(4) control of insect pests. -
In connection with this, either fall
or spring plowing may be practiced,
the former, however, only in those
localities with a favorable enough
winter to so permit. The great secret
of success with any system of culti-
vation designed to conserve moisture
and liberate plant food is to get on
the land as early in spring as possible,
otherwise, if the orchard is not plow-
ed until late, most of the advantages
of cultivation are lost.
Modifications of the above rens ist
of leaving a strip of sod about four
feet in width next to the trees.• In
old orchards where it is difficult to
get close -to tate trees this may be
practiced successfully, in which ease
the grass is cut once or twice during
the season and allowed to remain as
a mulch.
In both these instances, on the cul-
tivated portion a mulch is maintained
until about July first, when a cover
crop of some sort should be sowed.
If the seed is not too expensive, some
leguminous crop like red clover or
crimson 'clover at the rate of about
12 pounds per acre for the former and
10 pounds for the latter, or summer
vetch at the rate of 50 pounds per
acre is advisable, as these will add a
considerable quantity of plant food to
the soil.
If too costly, rape may be used a*
a cover crop, at the rate of 30 pound*
per acre.
The Sod Mulch System, if properly
handled, may be advisable on moist
soils where there is abundance of
plant food. This system must not be
confused -with the sod system, which
is not to be recommended. In the
former, for the first few years, grass
or old straw is hauled on the oreh-
and and placed around the trees to
form a mulch. This practice is con-
tinued until the cuttings from the sod
beneath the trees is sufficient
themselves to form a heavy. mulch.
